A clinical scale fully dedicated to evaluating ocular motor abnormalities is required for now. We investigated the utility of a recently developed Scale for Ocular motor Disorders in Ataxia (SODA) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). We prospectively assessed SODA in consecutive patients with MSA between August 2021 and August 2023 at the Korea University Medical Center. The results of the clinical exam-based SODA were compared with those measured using video-oculography (VOG-guided SODA). We also compared the findings with other established clinical scales targeting patients with MSA, including the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) I-II, Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor part (UPDRS-III), Scale for Assessment of Rating of Ataxia (SARA), Composite Autonomic Symptom Score-31 (COMPASS-31), and Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS). Twenty patients were enrolled in our study (17 with cerebellar-type MSA and three with Parkinson-type MSA). Scores ranged from 1 to 14 (median [interquartile range (IQR)] = 8 [5−10]). Among the subscales, saccades had a median score of 2.5 (IQR = 1–3), followed by ocular pursuit (1 [0–1]), nystagmus (1 [0–2]), saccadic intrusions (1 [0–1]), vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) (0.5 [0–1]), ocular alignment (0 [0–1]), and VOR cancellation (1 [0–1]). The clinical-exam-based SODA (p = 0.020) and VOG-guided SODA (p = 0.034) positively correlated with disease duration. No correlation was found between clinical exam-based SODA and other scales. Skew deviation, gaze-evoked nystagmus, VOR cancellation, and smooth pursuit had the highest precision among the items. Ocular misalignment and spontaneous and positional nystagmus were frequently false positive and were poorly detected with clinical exam-based SODA. Six patients with repeated evaluation exhibited higher scores, along with deterioration documented on other clinical scales. The SODA can reliably predict neurodegeneration as an additional clinical surrogate in MSA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Background: Although autonomic dysfunction is common in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), few data are available regarding its pattern and quantitative severity with increasing Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage. We conducted autonomic function tests to quantify autonomic dysfunction in PD patients and to elucidate its possible relationship with disease progression. Methods: We performed autonomic function tests including Valsalva ratio, heart rate response to deep breathing, quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test, and head-up tilt test in 66 patients with PD. We compared clinical characteristics and results of autonomic function tests between stages, and correlated the proportion of abnormal patients in each test with their H&Y stage. In addition, logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the contribution of increasing H&Y stage to impairments of each domain of the autonomic nervous system. Results: We found that PD patients with higher disease stage tended to have impairments in cardiovagal and sudomotor domains of the autonomic nervous system. Cardiovagal function was the domain most influenced by disease progression. Our findings also demonstrated that the pattern of sudomotor impairment in PD was similar to that in patients with peripheral autonomic neuropathy. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that autonomic dysfunction is not only common in early stage PD but it increases in severity with increasing disease stage. Given that the patterns of sudomotor impairments in PD are similar to those in peripheral neuropathy, our data support a previous hypothesis that pathophysiology of PD involves both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Neurodegenerative change in the central nervous system has been suggested as one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). We analyzed gray matter (GM) volume changes and clinical parameters in patients with PD to investigate any involvement in the brain structures responsible for autonomic control in patients with PD having orthostatic hypotension (OH). Voxel-based morphometry was applied to compare regional GM volumes between PD patients with and without OH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis using a hierarchical model was carried out to identify clinical factors independently contributing to the regional GM volume changes in PD patients with OH. The Sobel test was used to analyze mediation effects between the independent contributing factors to the GM volume changes. PD patients with OH had more severe autonomic dysfunction and reduction in volume in the right inferior temporal cortex than those without OH. The right inferior temporal volume was positively correlated with the Qualitative Scoring MMSE Pentagon Test (QSPT) score, reflecting visuospatial/visuoperceptual function, and negatively correlated with the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS). The CASS and QSPT scores were found to be factors independently contributing to regional volume changes in the right inferior temporal cortex. The QSPT score was identified as a mediator in which regional GM volume predicts the CASS. Our findings suggest that a decrease in the visuospatial/visuoperceptual process may be involved in the presentation of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in PD patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders is not well documented in Korea. We assessed the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease in an elderly population in a newly industrialized city in a rural region. Subjects for this study were randomly selected from a community-based cohort study. The sample in the cohort represented approximately 1.3% (4700) of 362 625 adults (age>18 years) listed in the city register in 1998. Among this group, 4218 subjects (1086 subjects aged>60 years) agreed to be interviewed and underwent a physical examination and neuropsychological tests administered by a neurologist and neuropsychologist. All participants were examined. Participants who had bradykinesia and at least one other possible cardinal sign of parkinsonism at the neurologic screening, and those who reported that they had Parkinson’s disease, or were taking antiparkinsonian drugs were identified. In our study, 16 subjects showed evidence of Parkinson’s disease. The prevalence in this population was 0.37%. Prevalence increased with age, and prevalence was 1.47% for those aged older than 60 years. Postural instability and gait disturbance were more common in the older age group. The results of neuropsychological tests were as follows: (1) only two subjects had low scores (<20) in the Korea-version mini-mental status examination; (2) seven subjects scored 0.5, one subject scored 2 and the other eight subjects scored 0 in the clinical dementia rating. The results of our prevalence study are similar to those of studies carried out in Western countries. Age is a risk factor for Parkinson’s disease in Korea. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Postural instability is a cardinal symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), which suggests the vestibular system may be affected in PD. This study aimed to determine whether vestibular dysfunction is associated with the risk of falls in PD. We prospectively recruited patients with de-novo PD at a tertiary medical center between December 2019 and March 2023. During initial assessment, each patient was queried about falls within the preceding year. All patients underwent evaluation of video head-impulse tests (video-HITs), motion analysis, mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). We determined whether head impulse gain of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) was associated with clinical severity of PD or risk of falls. Overall, 133 patients (mean age ± SD = 68 ± 10, 59 men) were recruited. The median Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor part (MDS-UPDRS-III) was 23 (interquartile range = 16–31), and 81 patients (61 %) scored 2 or less on the Hoehn and Yahr scale. Fallers were older (p = 0.001), had longer disease duration (p = 0.001), slower gait velocity (p = 0.009), higher MDS-UPDRS-III (p < 0.001) and H&Y scale (p < 0.001), lower MMSE (p = 0.018) and MOCA scores (p = 0.001) than non-fallers. Multiple logistic regression showed that MDS-UPDRS-III had a positive association with falling (p = 0.004). Falling was not associated with VOR gain (p = 0.405). The VOR gain for each semicircular canal showed no correlation with the MDS-UPDRS-III or disease duration. The semicircular canal function, as determined by video-HITs, is relatively spared and has little effect on the risk of falls in patients with mild-to-moderate PD. • Falling is a major risk for immobilization and consequent poor quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). • The canal function is relatively preserved and has little effect on the risk of falls in patients with mild-to-moderate PD. • The vestibulo-ocular reflex gain showed no correlation with the MDS-UPDRS-III or disease duration.
